How Fiber Helps You Lose Weight on the HCG Diet?

Fiber is an essential part of a diet when you’re trying to lose weight. Understanding its effect on the body can make HCG injections more effective at reducing weight and inches from your body. It’s very common to hear people say you should include foods rich in fiber into your diet, especially if you’re trying to lose weight. The sad thing about this is you don’t take it seriously. Have you taken it seriously, you wouldn’t have to be where you are right now, overweight. But why is fiber so important in the HCG diet?

Types of fiber and required daily fiber intake

There are actually two types of fiber:

  • Soluble– Soluble fiber absorbs water to form a gel-like substance. This helps slow down how fast your stomach releases foods into the gut. Soluble fiber helps regulate blood sugar level and lower cholesterol levels. A fiber intake of 30 grams can help you lose weight, lower blood pressure, and improve insulin sensitivity. You can also lose belly fat and prevent belly fat gain by eating more soluble fiber. Sources of soluble fiber include oats, rice bran, dried beans, citrus fruits, potatoes, and peas.
  • Insoluble– Insoluble fiber can, like soluble fiber, help control weight by preventing hunger pangs. Adding more insoluble fiber to your diet can help you get your bowels moving if you become constipated. It’s also beneficial if you have bowel-related health problems like hemorrhoids and constipation. Foods that are high in insoluble fiber include vegetables like cauliflower and green beans. Other sources of insoluble fiber include nuts, wheat bran, and whole-wheat flour.

Fiber-rich foods have a low-calorie count. The daily fiber intake requirement for women of 50 and below is 25 grams. The daily fiber requirement for women over 51 is 21 grams.  Men, on the other hand, are supposed to have more fiber intake as they are required to take 38 grams of fiber per day for those 50 and younger. Those 51 and up are only supposed to take 30 grams per day.

The role of fiber in weight loss

Weight loss is an internal process. You will first start to lose hard fat in your internal organs like the digestive system, liver, and kidney. After that, you will start to lose soft fat around your waistline and thigh. Inside your digestive system, fiber normalizes our body’s bowel movements. This decreases the chances of constipation. It also prevents the development of colorectal cancer, which is an abnormal growth of cells that may spread elsewhere in the body.

Fiber is super-filling, and it works best when it can absorb water. Your body digests fiber slowly than simple sugars and starches. You can lose significant weight simply by getting 30 grams of fiber each day, without any other dietary changes. The benefits of fiber go far beyond keeping your appetite under control and keeping your weight under control. It’s good for your gut and encourages gut bacteria diversity. Fiber is heart-healthy and promotes regular bowel movements. It can reduce your risk of diabetes and certain chronic diseases.

Common Mistakes During the Maintenance Phase of the HCG Diet

Weight loss results are important to everyone who wants to lose weight, but healthy weight loss requires you to measure your results over time and remain motivated no matter what diet protocol you follow.

Like any other diet plan, the HCG diet is not immune to failure. Although the protocol is quite precise as it is designed for weight loss and metabolism reset, it is so easy to get off course and gain weight if you make the following mistakes. 

Mistake #1: Doing excessive exercise 

As you transition into the maintenance phase and ramp up your calorie intake, you can gradually increase the intensity of your workout but not to the point of muscle soreness. Your body will react by producing lactic acid and to neutralize the acidity, your body will respond by retaining water. Start low and monitor your weight every morning to see how exercise is affecting your weight. If your weight fluctuates more than 2.1 pounds or less than 2.1 pounds, you need to reduce your exercise routine until your weight can stabilize.

Mistake #2: Overeating or eating too little

The recommended calorie intake while on the Maintenance phase is 1500 calories a day. When you consume too many calories, you will gain weight because your body believes that it should store excess energy to use later. If you consume too few calories, your body may go into survival mode and try to hold on to what you give it. Moreover, your body won’t know how to handle foods if you never try them.

Mistake #3: Not tracking your daily food intake 

Keep track of the foods you eat even if you are no longer in the very low-calorie phase. You can do this by writing it down in your journal or by using an app. Tracking your foods can help you pinpoint foods that trigger weight gain. Among the most common trigger foods includes fried foods, peanut butter cheese, and many more.

eating sweets

 Mistake #4: Having sugar and starches during the first three weeks

Some dieters unknowingly add starches and sugars into their diet by:

  • Using seasoning and spices with hidden sugars and starches
  • Taking vitamin supplement coated with sugar
  • Eating process foods
  • Using canned fruits and veggies

Foods with hidden sugar can cause weight gain and provide empty calories.

Mistake #5: Adding too many cautionary foods at once 

Your body needs some time to adjust from the very low-calorie intake and from the limited food options. So, do not add more than one new food at a time to give your body some time to adjust and learn how to deal with new foods.

Once you reach phase 3, you need to continue choosing carefully when it comes to fruits and veggies, as not all of them are healthy for you. Fruits and vegetables that contain a lot of starch and sugar, such as bananas, melons, grapes, corn, potatoes, and peas, should be avoided. After the first week, slowly add some starch and sugar back in. Before diving into table sugars, pasta, and bread, start with those that have natural sugar and carbs.

Is HCG Injection Safe for Weight Loss?

HCG injection has been used for decades in the medical community-both in treating fertility issues and in weight loss. AND yes, it is SAFE for weight loss. It may not be approved by Food and Drug Administration for weight loss but the use of HCG injection has been medically prescribed for obese and overweight patients without any issues for decades. AND yes, there have been hundreds and thousands of people who were able to successfully lose weight using the HCG injection to testify this claim. What makes this hormone safe? Let us dig deeper first into what it is all about.

The basic of HCG

HCG stands for human chorionic gonadotrophin. Women during pregnancy produce this hormone in a very large quantity. They help make certain that both the baby and the mother have the calories they need to remain healthy. Doctors prescribe it for treating fertility problems in men and women.

The HCG injection

HCG injection has been used primarily for the treatment of fertility issues in both men and women. It has treated everything from undescended testicles in males to infertility in women. It’s the same hormone used in the HCG diet but at a very minimal amount. The best part of it-it’s naturally produced by the human body, making it safe even for weight loss.

HCG injection for weight loss became popular in the 1950s by Dr. Simeons. According to him, taking it could support weight loss by reducing your feeling of hunger. HCG injection can help reset your metabolism and promote healthy eating habits. When injected, it signals the hypothalamus of your brain to make use of the fat deposit as an alternative source of energy. These fat deposits are pockets of fat on various parts of your body and your body uses these pockets to save energy. They can be in the form of lumps and rolls anywhere on your body and can negatively affect your health, level of activity, and self-esteem.

Is it safe for weight loss?

HCG hormone stimulates the production of other hormones in your body that affect your metabolism, digestion, muscle tissue, liver function, and more. Since it’s an ALL-NATURAL hormone made by the placenta during pregnancy, therefore, it is safe.

In the HCG diet, weight loss occurs when HCG injection is used along with a restricted calorie intake. What makes it unsafe, as some are saying, though it is NOT if done correctly, is the restricted calorie intake of only 500 calories per day. If you find you can’t survive with the super low-calorie intake per day, you always have your option to modify it and add another 250 to 300 calories.

HCG triggers your body to burn fat for energy. As a result, you only feel minimal to no hunger at all, making it easier for you to adhere to the protocol.  Though the HCG diet protocol is not safe for long-term use, it is capable of safely resetting your metabolic functions. Upon achieving an ideal set-point, you can now maintain or improve your weight with a long-term, sustainable diet plan and exercise.

Adding Superfoods to Your HCG Diet: A Guide to Healthy Foods in Phase 3

Phase 3 of the HCG Diet allows you gradually add healthy foods back into your diet while still maintaining your weight loss. To make the most out from this phase, it’s essential to incorporate nutrient-rich foods that promote general health and support healthy weight loss. These foods are commonly referred to as superfoods because they typically contain antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that offer incredible health benefits.

Superfoods on Phase 3 of the HCG Diet

Here are some of the best superfoods to add during phase 3 of the HCG diet::

  • Low-carb veggies

As you transition from restricting your calorie intake into the stabilization phase, you slowly incorporate carbohydrates back. However, the type of carb you choose matters because not all carbohydrates are created equal. To help stabilize your weight, choose clean carbohydrates. Clean carbs are unprocessed and are non-starchy. They contain natural fiber that helps reduce chronic inflammation. Examples of non-starchy, clean-carbs are vegetables like:

  • Asparagus
  • Broccoli
  • Cauliflower
  • Cabbage
  • Celery
  • Cucumber
  • Garlic
  • Green beans
  • Eggplants
  • Kale
  • Spinach
  • Peppers
  • Lettuce
  • Tomatoes
  • Onion
  • Mushrooms
  • Winter or summer squash

Protein-rich foods

Protein-rich foods are essential to help you maintain your muscle and to keep you feeling fuller longer. Super protein-rich foods include:

  • Eggs
  • Tofu
  • Almonds
  • Walnuts
  • Macadamia nuts
  • Pistachio nuts
  • Flax seeds
  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Pecan

Low-carb fruits

Just like veggies, some fruits are high in carbs and natural sugar. Low-carb fruits can help protect against chronic diseases such as diabetes and cancer. Examples of low-carb fruits you can have during phase 3 include:

  • Apples
  • Berries (Blueberries, strawberries, cranberries)
  • Grapefruits
  • Pears
  • Peaches

Dairy products

Dairy products like plain Greek yogurt, Swiss cheese, almond milk (unsweetened), and coconut milk are incredibly healthy. They have more calcium, vitamin D, and have unique properties that may help control your appetite. A word of caution- introduce them gradually back into your diet. Do not use too much of them on the same day and watch out for your portion.

Fats and oil

You are not allowed to have them during the weight loss phase, but not during this phase. Healthy fats and oil include:

  • Avocado oil
  • Almond oil
  • Coconut oil
  • Flaxseed oil
  • Salmon
  • Black olives
  • Almond butter
  • Cocoa butter
  • Olive oil
  • Unsalted butter

How to add superfoods into the HCG diet

Adding superfoods can be a great way to maintain weight loss while promoting overall health. 

  1. Start by choosing clean carbohydrates, such as non-starchy vegetables like asparagus, broccoli, and kale. Protein-rich foods like eggs, nuts, and seeds can help maintain muscle and promote feelings of fullness.
  2. To make it easy to add superfoods to your diet, try incorporating them into snacks or desserts, substituting beans for meat in some dishes, and taking dietary supplements.
  3. Eat superfoods for your dessert or snacks. Instead of eating your usual dessert, just like the one before you started out doing the HCG diet, have low-carb fruits or healthy nuts for your snacks or dessert.
  4. Substitute beans for meat once in a while. Tofu, legumes, and amaranth are extremely rich in protein and you can use them for your main dish.
  5. Take dietary supplements. Superfoods are available in supplement forms, and they’re packed with various nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids.

HCG Diet: When and How to Stop Early

The HCG diet is most effective when you follow the protocols properly. You load for two days followed by at least 21 days of restricted calorie intake with the administration of HCG injection. You can also lengthen your time restricting your calorie intake just as long as it shouldn’t be shorter than 23 days. 23 days is the minimum required number of days on the protocol or else you may not be able to stabilize your weight.

However, there are times when you need to stop the HCG diet protocol earlier than expected due to:

  • Injuries
  • No HCG available or your kit hasn’t arrived on time
  • Pregnancy
  • Some other unexpected interruptions that could sabotage your weight loss result.

You may find that you have to cut your round short before you even have the chance to complete the 23 doses of HCG injections. In the event that you cannot complete the 23 doses, there are some steps that you can take to avoid regaining weight rapidly. However, there is no guarantee you’ll keep all the progress you’ve made.

How to stop the protocol early

Step 1: Let your doctor know. If you’ve consulted to one. Your doctor will instruct you on how to wean off the HCG injection.

Step 2: If you haven’t consulted with an HCG diet doctor, the most that you can do is to transition into the maintenance phase as if you have finished your round. OR continue eating a low-calorie diet just like when you are doing the HCG diet but without the HCG injection. Make sure you avoid eating anything with fats or oil for the first 72 hours as there can still be HCG running in your system.

Step 3: Avoid any form of starches and sugar for the next three weeks. Restricting your carbohydrate and sugar intake may help you avoid unwanted weight gain because weight gain is very common after you restrict your calorie intake. Focus on eating whole foods. You can incorporate good fats like olive oil, avocado oil, and coconut during these three weeks as this can help you feel fuller longer. After three weeks, you can slowly add healthy carbohydrates and whole grains like whole-wheat bread, pasta back into your diet.

Step 4: During the three weeks, gradually increase your portion sizes. It’s not necessary to count any grams of foods anymore, but for weight control, it’s important to remember portion sizes.

  • Grains: ½ cup (80 grams of cooked pasta, rice)
  • Vegetables: 1 cup (1 cup of vegetables is equivalent to 2 cups of leafy greens and 1 cup of raw vegetables)
  • Fruits: 1 cup, one-quarter cup of dried fruits or nut (35 grams)
  • Protein: 3 ounces of lean meat, seafood, or poultry, 1 egg or 2 egg whites, ½ ounce of unsalted nuts, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter
  • Dairy products: 1 cup (equivalent to 1 cup of milk or yogurt, 2 ounces of processed cheese, or 1 ½ ounce of natural cheese like cheddar

Step 5: Exercise. Take a 10-minute walk each day and work your way up to 30 minutes per day. You may want to include strength training two to three times per week to increase lean muscle mass and to burn more calories.
